Lenovo Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) settings allow you to quickly customize interactions between your operating system and your hardware, especially your hard drive or drives, memory and power supply.
You must get into the Lenovo BIOS before your operating system loads.
Though most users don't typically see options for entering or using the BIOS, multiple changes can be made to customize and optimize your system, such as changing your boot device order and changing the display brightness to conserve power.

Turn off your Lenovo computer.
Press the power button to start your system.
For best results, wait 30 seconds to one minute before starting your system.
This gives you a longer window in which to enter the BIOS.

Press "F1" as soon as the Thinkpad logo appears.
Depending on your Thinkpad model, you may be prompted to press either the blue "Access IBM" or the blue "ThinkAdvantage" button instead of "F1 or F2."
If this is the case, a message will appear stating "To interrupt normal startup, press (one of the listed buttons above)."
Select the "Start setup utility" to open the BIOS setup menu.
Follow the instructions provided in the BIOS setup menu to select BIOS menu sections, settings and to change options.
Next, navigate through the Bios setup pages using keybard arrow keys in order to find failsafe or optimized defaults press ENTER to select your option press F10 save to cmos and restart

Normal boot sequence in bios is:

First boot device: the cd/dvd drive
And second the harddrive.

The bios window should look like this:

Press the DEL button to enter the bios during bootup.
Select the advanced option with the arrow on the keyboard and press enter.
Scrool down to select first boot device
Select the cd drive.
Next select second boot device and select the harddrive.
Select to leave the bios by saving your settings you just made
Select Y to confirm and press enter.
Now you are ready to install windows.

You will maybe have to renew the CMOS battery, because its maybe low on power.

Best of luck

My desktop pc cannot boot again, it keeps on showing disk read error.

if its showing disk read error then possibly there is some problem with your hard drive or RAM. there are more chances that you have to change your hard drive.
but you can try one thing just boot the computer using a bootable windows disk and try to full format the hard disk and then install the OS. it should help.
but if there are bad sectors in your hard disk then it seems that you have to change your HD.

How to boot from cdrom

I believe you hit F10 key to enter bios. Go to the advanced menu and select boot options. You can select in there what order the computer tries to boot from different options. You need to select boot from CD and put it in sequence before the hard drive. Most bios versions well give you a first, second, third boot device and so on. Set first device to CD rom, second to Hard drive 0, third to none unless you use a floppy drive to boot from (rare).
